Description

I am trying to replace ubuntu Virtual machine by WSL. Xlaunch is started ( the graphic server : VcXsrc X Server ) , it s working BUT.

In the "VcXsrc X Server" it needs to disable the "Hide Root Windows", the "Root Windows" is a blackscreen upper the "Microsoft Windows".

The usage is bad : I go in the "Root Windows" VcXsrc I can press the shortcut to show guake, I go on another Microsoft application, I still have the guake ( normal ) But the shortcut guake doesn't work. I need to go back in "Root Windows" to disable guake....
